This well-known escape room “The Room” has already won several awards for its extraordinary puzzles and settings. The authentic rooms tempt you to embark on several adventures and focus on the experience: you can complete an internship with a notorious ghost hunter, search for the Holy Grail under Humboldt University or hunt down serial killers.
You will rarely find classic puzzles here. This is because “The Room” mainly offers immersive games in which you take on a specific role and play the ghost hunter himself, for example.
